WHO SENT THAT CREEPY TEXT MESSAGE TO FRAME?! (Ep. 4) That's bugging the hell out of me right now!
I know, that didn't make sense to me. One minute he's consoling Book about his bad memory (and what essentially counts as rape), the next minute, he seems turned off by it. Maybe Frame feels guilty that he wanted to record his and Book's activity too?

The one when he was sitting on the stairs after texting Fuse? What did it say (it wasn't in the EngSubs)? Because of the notification sound, I'd assumed it was a hookup app message, like Grindr or Blued. Frame's a stud, lol.
I'm disappoint for mir 2 : 1. Bad location selection /their uniform 2. To many Hot Scene (this is not drama…
Maybe MIR2 is intended for a more international audience? Despite it's flaws (and there are many), I'm loving it here in the US. There's no such thing as BL being made over here.
Now I'm going to have to watch 2 Moons. Ugh, I haven't enough time! :D
The one scene where Fuse tells Tee that he can't break up with Jean, he says (according to the gcinee EngSubs), "I don't understand myself." That statement is deeper than most people realize. IMO, it's internalized homophobia. You're not the only one confused by Fuse, Fuse is confused by Fuse!

Oh, I see. I agree. I'm not sure what actually happens, but from the few couple Thai BL dramas I have seen, they don't really worry about if the actor can act, only if they look good, and are willing to hold hands, cuddle and press lips with another guy.
That said, IMO, the actors in MIR2 improved a lot since MIR1, are much better actors in general than the actors in Love Sick.
The whole...'I would only be gay for you, bro' sentiment was reallllly biphobic, or invisibilizing of…
I've never seen Gay Ok Bangkok (yet, now that I know about it!), but from the looks of it, I'd argue that that's not Yaoi. Of course, that's splitting hairs, YMMV. Some of the more racier recent episodes of Make It Right are pushing the envelope too, as any genre naturally will do, and that's a good thing. But I've yet to see an authentic-looking _passionate_ kiss in live-action Yaoi. If a culture can show one between a man and a woman, they should be able to show one between two men or two women. (Of course, I'm assuming that passionate het kisses are shown on TV in Thailand, like here in the USA; but I've no interest in non-BL drama to find out. :D )
The whole...'I would only be gay for you, bro' sentiment was reallllly biphobic, or invisibilizing of…
If you think about it though, the whole BL trope is rooted in homophobia. From my limited watching experience, many of the BL couples don't identify as gay or bi. Sure, many of them could be described as "unsure" or "questioning," but they're quite distinct from the very few BL characters that DO identify as gay.
I'm not sure why (and let me know if my theory is misogynistic), but I suspect it's because BL is predominantly written for women, and most women (yes, a generalization) are simply more attracted to "non-gay" men. YMMV. :D

You have some good points:
1. Bad location selection /their uniform
The location and school uniforms seem the same as Season 1 to me. What am I missing?
2. To many Hot Scene (this is not drama anymore)
I _like_ the "hot scenes"! :D
3. Story Line so boring
I agree so far. There seem to be a lot of scenes showing the couples interacting, being adorable together, but don't really seem to advance the plot much. Or maybe I'm missing something because I'm having to use English subs.
4. Ost mir 2 so bad !!!
Agree. Not so much the songs, but the incidental music tries too hard, or doesn't seem to match the mood of what's happening on screen.
5. Always focus on each couple ,rare interaction to other student/actor (Not Like
MIR 1)
Agreed, but it's still early on in the season. Something tells me they're setting things up for later.
6. Even their acting improve but when they alr play war of high school /other film
.their "BL" gone ...seriously why they didnt finish 1 BL after that they can play
in other film (Ex : Love Sick)
Not quite sure what you're getting at here. I don't mind them making other shows during season breaks.
Fuse is really annoying, he keeps hurting Tee and breaks up with him but then immediately gets jealous when Tee…
RenHisaki, you're not wrong (nor rude :D ).
From my point of view, internalized homophobia can cause people (ahem, like me :/ ) to do some screwed up things to those they love.
I wouldn't say Fuse is to blame here, but it's definitely his responsibility to fix what he's doing to Tee, for both their sakes. I hope the writers use this situation to make light of these ideas.

I don't get all this hate for Fuse. Annoying, yes, but the poor boy is obviously conFUSEd. You all never had to grow up with internalized homophobia I guess. Have some empathy! :P :D
Just a question......r they actually gay in 'real life' or are they just acting?
Almost all actors in BL are straight. That's to keep the fangirls interested and with some kind of hope, lol. They may play it up a bit IRL with their TV 'boyfriend', but that's just fan service.
That said, there's a few actors in BL that are gay, and I think the guy that plays Yok in MIR is-mainly because he's one of the better actors :D
But, according to the GreyStag EngSubs, Frame asked Wit if the video was a guy and a girl, and Wit said 'No.' So it's either two guys or two girls.
I do suspect it's NOT Book and his ex though.
Now I'm going to have to watch 2 Moons. Ugh, I haven't enough time! :D
I'm just curious where "Cosocomo College" is. LOL
